Usher, Looking 4 Myself

Ushercontinued his late-career fascination with dance music on his new album, but he's evolved past the expected Ibiza-approved fist-pumpery, thankfully. Led by the beautiful Diplo-produced "Climax," Usher experiments with ambient, dub step and more, and his falsettoed tones are as glassy as ever.
